Common Car Insurance Scams
We’ve all heard about traffic scammers. They prey on unknowing individuals on surface streets, freeways and in traffic. Their goal is to extort funds from unlucky individuals that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But how do these scammers execute this fraudulent dangerous behavior, and how can a person that's been involved (albeit unknowingly) know the telltale signs of this scam?

Every now and then, the Internet is "wowed" with new crimes. From wildly successful book, podcast or show devoted to a crime. There's never a shortage of true crime stories and the crime documentaries genre on Netflix is very huge - such as Evil Genius, Making a Murderer, The Keepers and also series like American Vandal that took the online viewers by storm.

The Lost Boy
I hated working the graveyard shift at my 24/7 diner. Only the lost, the wanderers and the completely desperate ever visited “Becky Jo’s Diner” at that time of the night. It didn’t help that we were located on a deserted stretch of US 50, the loneliest road through Nevada. Our closest neighbor was almost 25 miles away. We saw the occasional bikers, hitchhikers, and lonely drivers taking cross country road trips at this witching hour; so, visitors seeking a midnight meal or a cup of coffee to ward off sleep didn’t surprise me in the least. Nights were boring, but tonight was different.

The Night Life
Chris pulls up to the parking lot at his favorite diner after dealing with a rough night with a job. It's a 24/7 diner with a 1950's aesthetic, but not a lot of people are there during the day, but at night, it becomes Chris' confessional booth in kind of a funny way. Not a lot of people can describe Chris, but if anyone could, they'd say he reminds them of a regular guy. Someone who doesn't have an ounce of an actor's likeness in him. The waitresses know him by name, and so does the manager of the place. They just hired a new waitress there, Gwen. If someone were to describe her, they'd say she looks like Alison Brie from Community and GLOW. She's a college graduate who has nothing going on for her. She lives alone, has no kids, and she doesn't have a pet to keep her company. The night may get a little interesting for these two lost individuals.

How a hashtag is harming human trafficking victims
I am not writing about conspiracy theorists. I am not interested in delving into the topic of what people chose to believe about reality because other writers are already analyzing this phenomenon with more eloquence and analysis invested.
